Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

He quickly recovered his composure, after all, the purpose of going out in the morning was really to shop.

Today was an opportunity that he could not miss. He wanted to take advantage of this moment to buy some meat from Ma Yunpeng. After all, if he wanted to buy it later with the receipt, he might not be able to get what he wanted.

So, he directly bought six pounds of the best pork belly. Jia Haoyun firmly believed that dishes stewed with this kind of meat would be the most delicious.

Naturally, he would not go empty-handed, and the apples he brought with him were also prepared as gifts.

I remember that Ma Yunpeng once mentioned casually that the apples he had received were given by his father to senior leaders, but he himself did not have many of them. Therefore, this time's apples were undoubtedly specially prepared for him.

As mentioned above, Ma Yunpeng's father was a senior military officer. He retired due to injury and became the director of a department store. He lived in a military compound with his family.

Seeing the apples brought by Jia Haoyun, Ma Yunpeng smiled and said easily, "That's nice of you."

Jia Haoyun also smiled back. As a person who has lived two lives, he knows very well that maintaining interpersonal relationships is an important science. Over the years, he has been managing the interpersonal relationships around him with sincerity.

Every gift he gave was not out of aimless generosity, but was carefully considered and contained deep meaning.

This time, Jia Haoyun purchased a lot of items, including a large amount of corn flour.

He wanted to take this opportunity to bring home more things and stop his family from complaining.

Jia Haoyun was busy the whole morning, buying vegetables, picking up his grandmother who was discharged from the hospital, and stewing a large pot of meat and vegetables.

The neighbors in the yard all knew that Jia Haoyun was going to set the wedding date today. This was a big event, and in order to entertain the elders and in-laws, it was only right that he should put some effort into preparing delicious food.

Everyone saw Jia Haoyun bought a lot of things early in the morning, and they all thought that this guy was a lucky man.

Yesterday, some sudden events occurred, especially Wang Jianqiang who did not sleep all night and led the militia to work the night shift all night.

Wang Dongsheng has also been busy dispatching the transport team to work overtime on steelmaking.

Only Jia Haoyun got help from both of them and was able to leisurely arrange the wedding date.

At noon, Wang Dongsheng and Wang Jianqiang came to visit. They were both very busy today.

As soon as Wang Dongsheng saw Jia Haoyun's mother and Qin Huairu's grandmother, he apologized to them. He was mainly worried that they would think that the man's family representative did not respect the woman's family, which would lead to misunderstandings.

Qin Huairu's grandmother and second uncle are both ordinary elderly people. They are in awe and respect for the big boss of Jia Haoyun's husband's family, Wang Dongsheng, and dare not have any opinions.

Qin Huairu's mother grew up in the countryside and had little experience. She only knew that Uncle Andy, brought by Jia Haoyun, was a big leader and she didn't dare to have any opinions at all.

Qin Weiguo, as the head of the village, had some experience. He knew that the person brought by Jia Haoyun was a high-ranking official and had a certain status in their village, so he could not have any objections.

Jia Haoyun did not want to use Wang Dongsheng's identity to show off or suppress Qin Huairu's eldership. He just wanted Wang Dongsheng to be a witness, so as to better reflect the importance of the wedding.

Both Jia Haoyun and Qin Huairu know how to respect rural people because Jia Haoyun himself comes from the countryside.

Wang Dongsheng and Wang Jianqiang were quickly welcomed into the house, and then Jia Haoyun and Qin Huairu quickly served meals to the seated elders. The scene was very harmonious.

Qin Huairu's grandmother and mother mysteriously entered the inner room, looking for a yellowed almanac.

Although the two old ladies are not very literate, this does not affect their interest.

They know that as long as the words "婚" and "宜" appear on the almanac, it means that the day is an auspicious day for getting married, provided that the word "不" in front of these two words is kept far away.

Grandmother Jia only knew these few words because Qin Huairu taught her yesterday.

Today, with excitement, Grandmother Jia and the old lady searched for a good day on the almanac.

Yesterday the family quietly chose the wedding date, which is the spring equinox next year, which is the first day of spring and is very suitable for marriage.

Although these traditions are no longer emphasized, Grandmother Jia still secretly prepared the almanac, hoping for a good omen.

Since this matter had to be kept secret, Grandmother Jia specially asked Qin Huairu's grandmother to secretly discuss an auspicious day.

Grandma had no objection to this, especially since she was able to recover from her illness thanks to the help of her grandson-in-law, otherwise she might still be sick.

The auspicious day chosen was also the first day of spring, so it seemed like the right choice.

When everyone was called to dinner at home, Jia Haoyun also stuck his head out and called out, "Mom, grandma, it's time to eat!" Grandmother Jia helped the old lady to the living room and sat down. Today they were the key players and had to have dinner with all the men in the family.

Today's dishes are still the same old ones: stewed meat, fried peanuts, canned meat, and then a big bowl of soft egg cake - grandma has bad teeth and can only eat soft food, she can't eat anything too hard.

Of course, as always, egg and tomato soup is indispensable.

Jia Haoyun also specially prepared a bottle of "Xifeng Liquor" today. This wine is usually drunk by officials at banquets.

Because my second uncle was going back in the afternoon, and my master and Uncle Wang Dongsheng also had things to do, I got this bottle.

When Grandmother Jia and Grandma announced that they had decided to hold the wedding of their grandson Jia Haoyun and his granddaughter-in-law Qin Huairu on the Spring Equinox of the following year, everyone said that this was a good day.

Master Wang Jianqiang immediately agreed to get the relevant certificate for Jia Haoyun today, and the second uncle also said that he would issue a certificate for Qin Huairu as soon as he returned.

Only then did Jia Haoyun realize that getting married in this era was not an easy thing and required certificates from both parties.

Qin Huairu originally had a rural household registration. After she married him, the food rations that were supposed to be provided by the brigade were no longer available to her, and she had to be supported by Jia Haoyun from then on.

If she can find a job after marriage, she can transfer to a city hukou, have her own grain book, and receive monthly grain supplies.

Jia Haoyun’s own household registration certificate is almost ready. After all, his master’s wife works in the office and can help.

Qin Huairu's affairs went even more smoothly. Her second uncle was the team leader, and the village was not a poor one where outsiders from far away could marry. It also involved whether other brigades would accept the population and provide food supplies.

Qin Huairu's family did not ask for any dowry, and they also knew that Jia Haoyun would be a good husband and would not treat her unfairly.

Grandma also mentioned that Qin Huairu's medical expenses were all paid with the fifty yuan that Jia Haoyun had given her before, and later he gave her another thirty yuan plus a lot of coupons.

There is still some money left, enough for Qin Huairu to buy some dowry.

Yesterday she told Qin Huairu's second son that he must not mention the issue of bride price, otherwise it would be against his conscience and might even destroy this good marriage.

So, the wedding date of Jia Haoyun and Qin Huairu was set.

After dinner, the Wang father and son were sent away first because they had other things to do in the afternoon.

Jia Haoyun bid farewell to Qin Huairu as usual, feeling reluctant to part. The two were in the midst of a passionate love affair, so it was inevitable that they would feel reluctant to part.

However, in another five moonlight hours, he will be able to marry Qin Huairu and bring her home, and they can meet during this period of time. Jia Haoyun is still full of expectations.

Just after seeing them off, Jia Haoyun had not yet had time to indulge in his nostalgia when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the front yard, accompanied by the crying of children, which was extremely disturbing.

Immediately afterwards, an old man's voice was heard from the backyard, asking everyone to gather in the middle yard quickly. It seemed that the second and third uncles were busy notifying the neighbors.

The courtyard is particularly popular today. On the one hand, it is a holiday, and on the other hand, a major event is happening in the street.

Of course, this matter is not about Jia Haoyun determining the auspicious date for his wedding, but is about Director Wang's "registration for donating scrap iron". In fact, the entire street is working together to promote this work today.

Everyone gathered in the central courtyard. Director Wang and three old men sat in prominent positions in the courtyard, while their younger guards were fully armed and stood guard to the side.

In this situation, Director Wang's former friendly face was no longer visible, but instead he exuded a stern aura.

There were no less than a hundred people coming and going in the central courtyard, but no one dared to make a sound.

Previously, Jia Haoyun had felt fear just by glimpsing Director Wang from afar, but now that he was facing him in person, he truly understood his aura, and gradually understood why the people on the street were in awe of the usually amiable Director Wang.

When Director Wang saw everyone, he began his cold speech.

Only then did Jia Haoyun realize that a notice had been posted on the street yesterday afternoon, requiring residents to go to the second-hand goods station today to hand in scrap metal.

However, today, only a handful of people actually went forward to hand in their donations voluntarily. It was not that they were unwilling to do so, but the fact was that most families had not yet been able to collect the money.

Jia Haoyun did not feel too much pressure because he was busy preparing for his wedding and the scrap iron had been prepared in advance.

Since Director Wang's collection of scrap metal had unsatisfactory results, he urged the collection today.

Upon arriving in Qiannan, Director Wang was able to patiently explain things and appeal to people's emotions, and convey some policies.

Who would have thought that the residents who had moved in in recent years seemed gentle and polite, but once Director Wang turned his back, they showed a tendency to resist handing it over, and some even wanted to form a group and refuse to hand it over.

For Director Wang of the street office, the "blast furnace" matter is a solemn promise, as our military career depends on it.

Therefore, the long-lost "Iron-blooded" Director Wang reappears in the world.

During this operation, Director Wang no longer had to think about common sense. He only focused on the task and knew in his heart that the task assigned by the leader must be completed.

In the morning, Jia Haoyun saw from afar that the family was also newly relocated, and it was also the beginning of Director Wang's practice of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey". This family regarded Director Wang as being kind, so they always pretended to obey him but actually disobeyed him. Today, Director Wang used this as a warning, intending to use it to teach this newly arrived family.

There was a violent scene this morning. Although no one was injured, the warning effect was significant. Naturally, Director Wang also wanted them to see some blood at this time.

The woman originally planned to act like a spoiled brat in the rural way, but the gunshot happened right at her feet, and the flying mud even splashed on her feet, and she was stunned for a moment.
